The Cool My Camper units are nothing more than what's called a mini-split A/C.  They're readily available in the U.S. made by other companies.  They're available from both Home Depot and Lowe's and can be installed by a DIYer.

Hey that might be the ticket. I'll check further into it - thanks

Sort of on the same note, Shasta is reissuing their 1961 trailer. Here's a video link. If I were getting a trailer I'd look seriously into this. Check out the AC unit that is in this puppy- nice!

Just watched the trailer video with the wife. Here dad rented a 61 Shasta each year for vacation. brought back memories for her.

So funny, yesterday I watched the Shasta video and today on my bike ride in Huntington Beach I see this old Shasta:

Sometimes I think I should just go with a hardside.

The point I wanted to make by posting the Shasta retro video was to call attention to where the AC is located. Is located low to the floor instead of on the roof. Now 'that' makes sense.

Does it? Cold air sinks. How effective is that placement going to be? I wonder if its ducted.

I put an AC in a 1956 Shasta that I rebuilt and I put it in high - against the ceiling.

 

It pulls outside air through a top vent and blows the hot air out of a side vent.  I lined the cabinet with aluminum and made a drip pan for it, too.

Cool (pun intended!)

It would be difficult to mount the Air conditioning unit on the top of the camper. idea looks interesting.
